The clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1883-1888, 1887-02-09

One Of the most important of coming
events is the grand Convention of
Dairymen and Fruit Growers, which
will be held in jackson on the 10th,
18th and 18th of the present month.
For this meeting the most elaborate
preparations have been made. His Ex-
cellency Governor Robert Lowry, will
welcome visitors in the name of the
State of Mississippi, and Mayor McGill
will extend greetings in behalf of the
city.
Liberal butter premiums have been
offered by the commission merchants of
New Orleans and by the business, men
of Jackson, for which competition is
open to the world.
Profound interest In the industries of
the South has been awakened through
out the Union, and especially as to early
vegetables, fine berries, fruits and dairy
products. In evidence of this, we cite
the fact that at this Convention ad-
dresses will be delivered by such learned
and practical men as w. d. Hoard,
Esq, of HoarPs Dairyman, Fort Akin
son, Wis; Prof. S. A. Knapp, late presi-
dent of the Iowa Agricultural College;
Col. r. M. Little, of Chicago; Col. r.
P. McClincy, Secretary Elgin Board of
Trade, and many Others, who by years
of careful study and experience are
qualified to give advice on all matters
bearing upon the management of the
dairy, as well as upon general farm
topics.
Here will be rare opportunity for
cur farmers to show what they can do,
see what others are doing, and hear
from the lips of men who are competent
to teach, and whose eloquence and
grace enable them to impart their
knowledge in a pleasant manner, what
can and should be done.
We are gratifed to add that the
great Illinois Central Railroad, with
its usual hberslity and public spirit,
will not only transport all products
intended for exhibition free of charge,
but will sell excursion tickets lower
than ever before heard of-about one
cent mile, which is cheaper than
walkingl We call upon our people to
make a grand rally at Jackson and by
their active cooperation, show that they
appreciate the interest taken in the inn
provement and development of our sec.
ton.

Appeal from the Circuit Court of Tate

Stands & johnson, for the appellant.
T. NJ. Miller, Acknowledgement, for
the State
l.. @. Les was indicted at the April
term, 1885, of the circuit court OF late
county for retailing vinous and spiritu-
Gus liquors without license. Inc IN
dictment charges that l.. G. Lea, on
April, 6, 1885, in the county OF late afore
said add State aforesaid, unlawfuliy ala
sell vinous and spirituous liquors In
less quantity than one gallon, without
having license so to do. The defen-
dant moved to quash the Indictment y
because it is double in charging the sale
of different kinds of liquors, t2) because
the indictment fails to set out the name
of the party or parties to whom the
liquors were sold. The court overruiec
the motion. No evidence as to where
the liquors were sold was introduced on
the trial. The jury found the defendant
guilty. He then moved for new trial
on the ground that the verdict OF the
jury els contrary to the law and the
evidence" The court overruled the
motion, and the defendant appealed.
ARNOLD, J., delivered the opinion of
the Court.
There is no merit in the objection
made to the indictment, that It Is
- ell IN tho M
court. that both vinous and spirituous
| liquors were sold. The selling OF one or
| both as charged is criminal. Murphy v.
The State, % Miss, 637.
We are satisfied with the decisions in
this State which hold that in an indict-
ment for selling liquor, it is not neces-
sary to allege the name of the person to
whom it was sold. Wharton says that
this is the general rule on the subject,
and that in view of the fact that the
offence is not directed against an indi-
vidual, but like nuisance is directed
against the community, the name of the
yendee may be omitted in all cases
where the statute forbids sales irrespec-
tive of persons. Wharf. Or. L., Sec.
2445.
The record fails to show that any
i
but it does not appear that this error or
omission was made ground of special
exception in the court below, and with
out such exception being made in that
court, the judgment, under sec. 1883 of
the Code, cannot be reversed here on
that account. Elk parte Phillips, 81

Written v. The State, 81 ID, 717. The
motion in general terms, that the verdict
was contrary to the law and evidence,
was not compliance with the statute.
The attention of the court should have
been called specifically to the point that
no proof of venue had been made.
Authorities supra.
In this and three other cases against
appellant for like offence, the same
errors are assigned, and the judgment in
each is affirmed.

The trial of Russell Goodwin, in Mem
phis, for Staying ]. 7. Dalton, is attract
ing great deal of attention. The
Memphis papers contain full reports of
each days proceedings. The defence is
that Goodwin ought to have killed Dali
ton because ne circulated slanderous re-
ports concerning Godwin's sister, Mrs.
Polk, and whether he circulated such
reports or not, that Goodwin was insane
when he did the shooting. The State
replies that Goodwin circulated no re-
ports, and if he did, they were true and
not false. Some of the witnesses for the
State swear to extreme intimacy be
tween Dalton and Mrs. Polk. Much of
the testimony is of salacious character,
which, perhaps, accounts for the crowds
that daily throng the court room.

n. D. Pleayune.I
The elaborate letter of Senator George,
of Mississippi, to the Mississippi Railroad
Commissioners, adds another to to the
testimonials which he has given of his
craftsmanship. 1t is such letter as not
many men in Congress are capable of writ
ing. The catholicity of Judge Georges
views is remarkable. He does not approach
a subject In a narrow spirit, or with limited
information. He is exactly such a man as
should hold the Presidency of the National
Commission, though it goes without saying
that it is impossible to deprive the Senate
of his services.
The point which he brings into strong
relief-the continuing necessity of State
action to supplement national LAWS
worthy of the attention of the public. 1t
does not follow that every State should
have a commission. On the contrary,
there may be States in which local condi-
tions are such as would render the estab-
lishment of commission an unfortunate
injury to the business community. But
that there ought to be ultimate action by
every State is certain. The national law
il Of no effect 90 far as relates to transpor-
tation lying wholly within bounds. But
it can be made of effect, indirectly, BY the
simple expedient of requiring the rail-
roads to conform in their local business
to the rules and conditions which crosses
State lines. Where there is State Com
mission of sufficient authority, that Com
mission can effect the end directly by
making its own regulations conformable
with those of the National Commission.
Where there Is no Commission, the State
Legislature can accomplish the same end
by short statute. If the National Com
mission proves q success the rest will fol-
low.

EDITOR CLARION: / was much interested
in the statement of correspondent of your
paper of last week, to the effect that Gen.
Lees speech before the State Grange of
Mississippi was "a mastery vindication of
the claims of the A. & NJ. College to public
recognition and an overwhelming an
swer TO the objections made against that
institution by men who do not view the
subject from his elevated standpoint" The
correspondent proceeding says:
"while he deals largely in facts and figures. he
arrays and masses them with such military tact
and skill As 70 amount TO a mathematical demon
stration and in the conclusion 70 which they lead
they possess the force of irrefutable logic. He
makes il perfectly plain that the money appropri-
2ted and spent for the annual maintenance OF the
College, being traction ~ per cent. OF the
amount annually expended for public education,
| Withdrawn, would be sufficient to add only two
days 10 the public school term, thus reducing the
objection to fine point render IL unworthy

massed, have never seen in print, but il
